These are the "tx" patches for ifmail

What is ifmail?

Ifmail is a package that allows a Unix machine to integrate an FTN (fido-like) network, and act as a gateway between it and usenet and/or e-mail. It includes the gating software, an areafix, a nodediff patcher, a mailer and a file-echo manager.

What are "tx" patches so?

These are diffs against plain 2.9 version that add some functionalities. I maintain the "tx" diffs from many sources and contributions.

What are the differences ?

"tx" versions adds charset support, References: managing, support for different Areas files for different feeds, domain#1:2/34.56 type of adresses support, support for packet password different than session password, PGP signed messages support, better MSGID/Message-ID managements, and more.

Look at the README.charset for info on how charsets are handled.
Read Credits.TX for info on people who contributed to the "tx" patches.
